    More like Americans should just not vote anymore.

    It’s trash in, trash out. Every election cycle. A bunch of old farts scheming and playing the system to get to the ballots. All of the young ambitious politicians barely get a sniff and fall apart during the primaries.

    It’s happened over and over and over.

      We just tried the whole “not voting” thing and look what happened.

        But did you all really try or did some of you? I think some of you, not all of you.

          Well I guess I didn’t try that. Because I’m not a dumb dumb.

      Then you’ll just get the idiots voting in fascism eventually so you’d be as well to join them to speed it up.

      Its not a popular take, but I agree that voting probably the least important thing any American could do, politically. Its a misattributed quote but its still a good one:

      Voting is the least important thing you can do, politically. There are somethings that have happened recently in the news that have vastly more impact, politically.

        Voting does change things. That’s why Republicans are trying to suppress your vote. So yes people do want to make voting illegal because it does change things.

          :shakes head:

          No, it doesn’t.

          Voting has such a negligible effect on policy it can basically be ignored. Its a “thing” you can do politically, but its the “least” thing possible. So minor relevant as to be largely ignorable.
